[Football] Saturday Euro Games

[Machiavelli]

That looked like two Portugal own goals.

Corrected for you

Another excellent game to watch.

Also, was there a pigeon just chilling out on the pitch for the final few minutes?

Just thought I'd mention that the French F1 Grand Prix is on this weekend. I'd forgotten as Sky Sports is un-watched at the moment. Something to download and watch to fill the time between games at 7 tonight.

Yes I noticed that too.
I was worried it was injured but it seemed to just be happy to ignore the players and search for a bit of grass seed.

Germany are off the mark and 3-1 up.

Portugal looked very average in the first game and the 3-0 win flattered them massively... a mediocre German team proving the point.

That half evidenced a slight annoyance that I have with the way the offside rule works. Gosens goal was ruled out as Gnabry was in an offside position when he attempted to play the ball, but missed it. Fair enough, he was interfering with play. Ronaldo was in an offside position when Jota was picked out by Silva. He and Jota both run at the German keeper and when Jota passes to Ronaldo, it goes backwards and he's not offside. It seems obvious that Ronaldo is interfering with play when the ball is played to Jota as the defender can't cover both of them. However, the offside rule doesn't take this into account.

Love watching the Germans

Like my bosch dishwasher

So efficient

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Germany's number 20 is in so much space on the left

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Another nice goal

 

[Randy McNob]

Germany are back baby

 

[Stat Brother]

Imagine the score if Pascal was playing

 

[Pint of Ale and a Burger]

Why did Germany take off number 20?
He was my man of the match and key part of the success so far.
If they took him off to save him for later in the tournament then that may be a mistake.
Portugal are back in it now.

Game of the tournament so far. Hopefully this will inspire other teams to be bolder.

Entertaining but Mickey Mouse end to end football. Gareth 'control/safety first' Southgate must be licking his lips at facing either of these in the knockout round [emoji6]

They really do have some giants in that German squad.

 

[Weststander]

The cross for the 4th goal was perfection.

The player knew exactly what he was doing, way above the keeper, then laid on a sixpence for the scorer. Art meets science.

Something England and Albion players fail to do ….how many times straight into the goalies hands.

I'm disappointed personally.

Only 1 card in the game so far. 19 more in the last 15 mins seems unlikely.

Booooooo.
